 Nice GRE Review April 21, 2008

2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I had 5 weeks to prepare and I really appreciated the thoroughness of this GRE prep./review book and it made me feel like I could perform decently. If you're far removed from middle and high school math I would recommend doing the math review section at the latter end of the book before you go through the quantitative section. I did not do it that way and ended up feeling a bit stupid because I could not figure out the math to several problems. For the money, this was a great tool to use to review and prep. for the GRE.
THE ONLY BOOK YOU NEED April 13, 2008

I bought Kaplan books along with this, and the Kaplan books were such a waste. This book is truly the ONLY book you need. The word lists are amazing...learn them!! As for the math review, I am not an overly mathematical person. After going through the entire Kaplan math review, I still was not increasing my score. A few weeks before the exam I turned to the math review here, and it saved me. I got a 600 which for me was phenomenal! Others have mentioned that the CD tests are made to make you think you are doing better (I took them all at once and got very different scores). But, make sure to take the tests ETS provides on their site. This book helped me meet my goal not only on those ETS practice tests but also on the actual GRE. I took the test only once and got into the top two schools in the nation for my program. As I said before, this book is the ONLY one you need. Save your time and money and go with this book if you want a strong, comprehensive review of everything on the exam!

Larger word bank, glossary than other GRE preparation books. Thats a good thing. Includes CD, which I have not used yet. However, my initial review is that this book is worth buying.
 2nd book to buy for GRE Prep March 23, 2008

None of these books are perfect. Start with the Princeton Review (Cracking the GRE) and then study this book. Both have good points that served me well during the test. If you are still not 100% ready, consider ETS's Official Guide for more practice.
GRE! Read for Quick Tps on Studying. March 17, 2008

I studied for the GREs from October 1st 2007 to November 17th 2007 (the day of my exam). Though some would call me crazy with such a short time studying; I studied nearly everyday, all day long (at least 10 hours a day). This book is perfect and is more or less all you need to study the GREs. The books organization is spot on, and I suggest following it as it is. Like any diet or exercise program, as long as you follow your plan (in this case the book's plan) you will unquestionably see satisfying results in the end.
I also suggest to make sure that you take the Diagnostic test at the beginning of the book in order to make sure, in the very beginning of your studies, what is most necessary for you to study and concentrate on. I didn't realize what the diagnostic test was for and did not take it until midway through my studies. A mistake. For the Verbal, I studied (with flash cards and all) the 333 High Frequency Word List. Do the same, a surprising number of these words were indeed on the GRE. I began to go through the 3,500-Word master list, but with time constraints soon realized that this would be ineffective.
The math section, in this book, is also organized quite well. Follow it. Like math we learned as secondary school students, it builds and builds to an end which is a complication of every thing previously learned.
Lastly, as many out there are concerned mostly with the math I suggest a supplementary book on the math alone. I basically used all of the sample problems in this book and would have easily done more if I had more time.
I do wish I took at least another month to study for this exam. While I am fairly happy with my GRE score, with that extra month I would have had that slightly extra edge in my graduate school applications.
This book is sure to help. Goodluck.
